Cosponsored by the Geo-Institute of ASCE; ASCE-Jordan International Group; Gulf Society of GeoEngineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Geotechnical Practice Publication contain 30 papers covering a wide range of research areas that discuss the importance of water in semi-arid regions with an emphasis on dam engineering. This information is vital for reliable, efficient, and economic construction and maintenance of geostructures. Geotechnical engineers who specialize in dam, highway materials, and soil improvement will benefit from this book.Topics include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eImprovement of soil properties using geosynthetics and chemical stabilization; \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUse of TDR and other geophysical methods to detect pollutants in soils and to assess properties of embankments; \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eModeling the constitutive behavior of soils and fluid flow through granular materials; \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCase histories of design filters for dams; \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMonitoring and rehabilitation of dams; and \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEmbankments and geostructures.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"American Society of Civil Engineers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47010998452464,"sku":"9780784407356","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780784407356","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
